-My favorite setting so far is the Great Lake.

What do you enjoy most about HiO so far?
- I like that there are mentors who help the new players out. It is quite kind of them.

Tell me about one of your favorite scenes or IC/OOC interactions
- My favorite scene was IC when Nabi called Accalia a "tree hugger" (unfortunately that post got deleted)...
I suppose the next best one was when Nabi first called Accalia a Barbaric Creature when they were at the Library

• What is your favorite setting (the Courtyard, Great Lake, a class, store, etc)
The astronomy tower !! Got multiple interactions and I just love it for what it represents to my oc, as well as the ambiance.

• What do you enjoy most about HiO so far?
The design and complexity of the site, but especially the community. I met lovely people, incredible writers, and everyone is just so sweet

• Tell me about one of your favorite scenes or IC/OOC interactions.
I think my favourite scene would be between the astronomy rp I have with @Evpraksiya Vinogradova and just all the scenes I have with @Sanguinius Demarest (bloodmoon will be great)

• What is your favorite setting (the Courtyard, Great Lake, a class, store, etc)
My favorite setting is definitely the Great Hall which is so cliche but it's so easy to create different stories and ideas for RP threads in there. I love the vibe of everyone being in the same huge room at the same time. Makes for the start of lots of adventures and relationships!
• What do you enjoy most about HiO so far?
I've really enjoyed reading everyone's writing styles! There are so many different types and I've definitely been able to learn from a few super talented writers on here.
• Tell me about one of your favorite scenes or IC/OOC interactions.
So far, I've loved the Ravenclaw Rave thread. It's fun (and a little bit overwhelming) to go through so many interactions with people and be able to meet lots of different Ravenclaws! Can't wait to see where the thread goes!

What is your favorite setting (the Courtyard, Great Lake, a class, store, etc)
My favorite setting is the Courtyard. There is so much activity that goes on there, and it is really pretty.

What do you enjoy most about HiO so far?
I enjoy most the RP experience, and getting to meet new friends! It's so much fun to bring stories to life!

Tell me about one of your favorite scenes or IC/OOC interactions
I love the RP me and Joseph Sims had. It was so much fun to get to RP with him! He has a really cool writing style, and such a fun personality!

• What is your favorite setting

Probably the Library, Great Lake or Ravenclaw common room, cause they are the places that hold the most sentimental value to my character.

• What do you enjoy most about HiO so far?

The sense of community. There's just something so nice about being around people who understand and are passionate about your interests. Plus the site's visuals are awesome

Tell me about one of your favorite scenes or IC/OOC interactions

Oof, had so many great moments alredy, it's really hard to pick. But if I'd absolutely have to choose, I'd say our whole quillpal thread with @Eonaria Kabukimono, where our characters try to recognize each other only by using the information they get from their owls.

• What is your favorite setting? Definitely the Great Hall! A perfect backdrop for all kinds of interactions. Also it's fun to describe, with the floating candles and weather ceiling and all.

• What do you enjoy most about HiO so far? Everyone is super friendly! And even the people whose characters are not friendly are still super friendly!! I love being able to write a ton and share it! But there's also OOC interactions like in the Games Room that I love!

• Tell me about one of your favorite scenes or IC/OOC interactions. I think my favorite interaction so far is my ongoing RPG with @Oliver Thorn. Starting off as an argument and then bonding over dislike of people who discriminated against werewolves is really fun! Hehe, maybe I just love arguing. On that note, I also loved my argument with @Avis Marlong about blood status! But I also really enjoy role playing in a letter format with my Quill Pal buddy @Sabrina Lyons! It's a detective hunt >:) I can't wait for us to finally meet! My first real RP with my big sis @Accalia Avalon is also absolutely awesome! It feels like I am part of the HiO family now! Oh, whoops, this is four, not one. Oh well All of them are my favorite!

I am too rich now, but you can't stop me from filling out this form anyway >:]

• What is your favorite setting (the Courtyard, Great Lake, a class, store, etc)
Forbidden forest! I haven't written much in there but I love the flexibility of having such a large space full of mystery and lovely lovely potential danger. Some places can get quite repetitive after too many threads in there, but the forest is certainly not one of them. Hopefully Cass or Acacia's adventures will lead there soon so that I can write in it more. That camo cloak was also a pain to get, so I better be able to use it soon. Runner ups would probably be the library (Cass may hate it, but the most wild stuff happens in there and I love it for that) and the quidditch practice pitch. The dungeons also sound like a fun place to venture into, and the courtyard is growing on me because of haunted being hosted there.

• What do you enjoy most about HiO so far?
A lot of people have said this before me, but it has to be the people. One of the most welcoming, kind and funny groups of people I have ever had the pleasure to get to know. I love popping into gen or lets chat to talk with everyone, and I love reading all the crazy and wonderful threads that people write. Many of your plotlines have been better than published novels I have read, but someone needs to give @Mathias Pride a suspicious surprise job offer in another country and get him away from Winnie ASAP. If someone forced me at gunpoint to pick something that wasn't our lovely community, I would have to say the organisation of this place. I love being easily able to see every thing I have written since day one (including my terrible cursed sorting ceremony, RIP my sanity) in one place on my profile super easy. I also enjoy torturing myself with attempting to use bbcode on occasion.

• Tell me about one of your favorite scenes or IC/OOC interactions.
I won't bother everyone with pinging too many people here, but my top favourite rps of all time must be mentioned somewhere. One day my ency will have a section for these, but that day is not today. I am far to tired for coding, and I fear accidentally managing to turn everything inside out again. In no particular order, we have:
-A very questionable strategy, in which Cass manages to get stuck inside a quidditch and is saved by the unquestionably amazing @Raizel Voltrouz. Please do not look at my ugly old banner, but this is an important piece of history
-Operation Quid Pro Quo, another thread of Cass being a stupid idiot, this time stealing curtains from the poor @Sereia Clairmont (who deserves a raise) with @Prat Pass
-Not in Kanas Anymore, finally a thread without Cass in it. This one features Acaica, Rubber duck boy (@Koko Riddle), American boy (@Astra Norrick), Gel pens boy (@Astrea Soleil Neptune) and Moody Russian dude (@Archer Duncan) attempting to get around muggle London
There's definitely a lot more that I could write about, but I have already managed to write 540 words according to the little counter in the corner and I think that is more than enough for a form answer.

Probably replying a little late to this thread now but happy to post as well just to celebrate your fifth year! WOO!!! CONGRATS!!!

• What is your favorite setting (the Courtyard, Great Lake, a class, store, etc)
My favorite setting so far has to have been the great lake, or the sheer dynamics of the common room, in fact the common room is absolutely beautiful! Though the unique artwork for each page does truly set them apart from each other and to be honest I have enjoyed everywhere I have explored so far.

• What do you enjoy most about HiO so far?
The community, everyone here is so supportive, seems to look out for each other and genuinely it seems to be a wonderfully safe place to write and make friends.

• Tell me about one of your favorite scenes or IC/OOC interactions.

My favorite scenes so far have to be
1. Convincing my little sis Eonaria to let me become her personal trainer, watch out world by the time she gets to the final year I expect her to have a strength rivaling my own,
2. Every interaction with Nabi Park, the cool/cold cat dynamic and the hyper puppylike dynamic we share is a blast, plus it is hilarious reading the different remarks that she makes about Accalia, certainly just boosts the fun there.
3. Discussing the feasibility of mermaids and the likelihood of Mike becoming their king over at the great lake

I am sure that there's many more amazing ones I am currently engaged in/many more in the future, but that future is looking mighty bright!

Thank you guys for sharing your experience (and HiOversary wishes), it's always motivating to see others enjoying the site hang around so you can become a senior citizen like me
